What does the project consist of?

The program begins with a four day conference and workshop in Abu Dis to familiarize you with the culture, politics and history of the country. Here, you can get to know Palestinian medical students and doctors, ask all the questions you might have and experience hands-on the situation in the Palestinian territories.








Once equipped with your new knowledge on Palestine the you and the group will then move to the refugee camps. The work there will mostly consist of working (and playing) with the children in the camps in fields such as: language lessons, music lessons, art therapy and drama, as well as computers and sports.


The participants will also develop workshops on topics of their choice (1st aid, dental hygiene etc.) which they will give to the children of various refugee camps in the Bethlehem area.


 

For three days of the week the group will be divided  amongst hospitals and refugee cliniques and attend morning rounds in order to observe how health care is delivered to the population and what is lacking and what type of intervention is necessary.
